The Michigan State football team moved into the $15.5 million
Skandalaris Football Center in 2008, giving the Spartans one of the
nation’s finest college football facilities. The 25,000-square-foot
addition to the Duffy Daugherty Football Building took 14 months to
complete.
The addition was made possible through the generous donation of
MSU alumni Robert and Julie Skandalaris of Bloomfield Hills, Mich.,
who donated $5 million as the lead gift for this $12.5 million phase
of the project. The structure features new team, staff and position
meeting rooms, coaches’ offices and The Demmer Family Hall of
History.
Former Spartan head coach George Perles and his wife Sally
contributed $500,000 for the construction of a $1 million plaza
outside the Duffy Daugherty Football Building.
